I teach Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and Genetics in both the Masters and the
DO Programs. In order to understand human biology ‘mind, body, and spirit’, it is
critical to understand the molecular mechanisms which are the foundation. In order
to incorporate scientific thinking and evidence-based medicine, I include recent scientific
literature in all of our discussions. I cover topics such as basic metabolism, the
human Microbiota, nutritional biochemistry, and the genetics of various diseases such
as cardiac diseases, neurological disorders, and cancer.

The research in my lab involves the study of metalloproteins from hyperthermophiles.
These proteins are highly stable and hold great promise for both medical and commercial
processes. We are in particular looking at utilizing these proteins as potential treatments
for cancer and ischemia/reperfusion injury, as well as the potential role of hydrogenases
in biofuel production.

At home Dr. Jenney enjoys gardening and learning how to relax from his dog Clarence,
aka “Mr. Fabulous”.
